3 Ravens named to PFWA All-AFC team

The regular season ended, which leads to a ton of awards. Though the Pro Bowl and All-Pro teams snubbed the Baltimore Ravens, the Pro Football Writers of America didn’t. In the PFWA’s awards, three Ravens made their way to the All-AFC list, and it might not be who you’d expect.

Kicker Justin Tucker and safety Eric Weddle made the list. Both Tucker and Weddle continued their legacies in 2017 with splash plays and accurate kicks. But the one that might surprise the most was wide receiver Michael Campanaro making the cut for punt returner. Check out the stats.

Campanaro led the AFC in return yards (291), average (10.8) and tied at the top for touchdowns (1). While Campanaro didn’t do as much in the passing game as many would have liked, he showed he could remain relatively healthy this season and make an impact.

Campanaro might not have been the big threat to take the ball back every time he fielded a punt, but he was able to haul them in consistently and make plays when possible. It felt like he became more comfortable as the season wore on.

Campanaro is a free agent this offseason, and with a lone healthy season showing what he can do, it’ll be interesting to see what the Ravens do.
